Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities are permitted under NAIA bylaws. There are some association and institutional practices that we must abide by, and you can find those below:

The important items for you to know regarding the NAIA legislation:

• The following acts will NOT cause an athlete to lose amateur standing:

  • Participating in radio or television programs for the purpose of promoting an amateur athletic event

  • Receiving reasonable compensation for supervision of physical education, playground or recreational activities

  • Receiving compensation for use of name, image or likeness to promote any commercial product or enterprise, or public or media appearance. It is the responsibility of the student-athlete to notify their institution's athletics director in writing of any compensation (including free goods or services) the student receives from the use of their name, image or likeness in relation to their school or status as a student-athlete.

• Individual institutions are given the right to enact stricter policies on products/companies that may be promoted by student-athletes

Important items regarding Loyola's policies:

• Please notify us prior to entering into any NIL agreements

• Any post or promotion for outside entities using Loyola marks or logos must be pre-approved by the athletic department

• You must receive the rights to any photo prior to using in any social media post

• Please review our social media policy and student-athlete code of conduct found in the student-athlete handbook as they are applicable to NIL activities

Send any questions you might have to our Associate Athletic Director Jesse Zabal, jrzabal@loyno.edu.

 Before you agree to any NIL agreements, we encourage you all to consider the following:

• Have someone review any contract before you sign

• Similar to social media posts, be mindful of the companies you promote and how it may affect your personal brand.  You may be asked by future employers about any deal, post, promotion, and partnership that you enter into

• When presented with a partnership, seek guidance from your coaches, friends, family, professors, etc. who can help determine if it is the right deal for you

• Research evolving trends in NIL as the landscape is likely to evolve

Please see Louisiana legislation regarding Name, Image, and Likeness.
